Neuroscience Outresearch
by Kelly Jorundson 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear Colleagues, I am so pleased to be the new Director of Outreach for our chapter, and I would like to thank Chris for giving me the opportunity to serve the neuroscience community in this way. As Chris has mentioned, our primary goal is to develop a consistent and meaningful program of outreach over the next several years. You will be hearing from me about our initiatives over the next several months. Engagement from neuroscientists at all levels will be key to the success of these programs, and I hope that you will consider participating. Our first project is to develop a Neuroscience Speaker's Bureau - a directory of neuroscientists who are willing to give public talks on neuroscience-related topics. This directory will be available to the public on the chapter website. At this time, we are compiling the names of interested individuals, and we will then contact you to build your profile. Once the directory is completed, we will then advertise it to attract groups who are interested in hosting speakers. At present, there is no time commitment on your part. Your participation just indicates that you are willing to be listed in the directory and make public presentations if invited to do so (please note that you are not obligated to accept speaking engagements if they do not fit your schedule). Please respond to Kelly's original email if you would like to be included. I look forward to working with all of you to enhance neuroscience awareness in our community. Best wishes, Sari Sari S.

Neuroscience Outreach
by Kelly Jorundson 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Dear Neuroscientists, As you know, one of the primary responsibilities of the Winnipeg Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience is community outreach. The Chapter has been involved in Brain Awareness week and has given awards for neuroscience projects in school science fairs, among other initiatives recently. Our goal, however, is to gain a more consistent and meaningful outreach presence overall. To help achieve this goal, Dr. Sari Hannila has generously agreed to be the Director of Outreach for the Chapter. She has several initiatives planned and you will see emails from her from time to time describing them. One of her first plans is to develop a roster of scientists who would be willing to give public outreach presentations. Once the list is compiled, she will ask for specific information so she can prepare the roster for 'marketing' and posting on the Winnipeg Chapter website. If you would like to be on the outreach speaker roster, please reply to this email. Many thanks, Sari Hannila and Chris Anderson Kelly Jorundson Executive Assistant Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience R4046 - 351 Tache Avenue Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 Tel: 204.235.3939 Fax: 204.237.4092 Email: kjorund(a)sbrc.ca OR Kelly.jorundson(a)med.umanitoba.ca<mailto:Kelly.jorundson@med.umanitoba.ca> Website: www.sfn-manitoba.ca<http://www.sfn-manitoba.ca>

Reminder - MNN Seminar Dr. Tiina Kauppinen Fri Mar 28 @ 9am
by Winnipeg Chapter Society for Neuroscience 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Manitoba Neuroscience Network | Seminar Series Date: Friday, March 28th, 2014 Time: 9:00 am Location: PX236/238 PsychHealth Bldg. Dr. Tiina Kauppinen Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics Principle Investigator, Neuroscience Research Program Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine Health Sciences Centre and University of Manitoba Topic: Microglial modulation as a therapeutic approach in CNS disorders. Location: PX236/238 PsychHealth Bldg. Biosketch: Tiina M Kauppinen is an Assistant Professor and principle investigator at the University of Manitoba. She obtained her Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Molecular Brain Research in 2001 from the University of Kuopio, Finland. Her Ph.D. studies (published in her maiden name, Tikka) discovered the neuroprotective potential of minocycline, an antibiotic that has several anti-inflammatory functions unrelated to its anti-microbial mechanisms. Dr. Kauppinen did her postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco (2002-2006). After which she became an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at University of California, San Francisco (2006-2012). Dr. Kauppinen joined the Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba July 2012. Her research focuses on the role of microglia and neuroinflammation in acute (ie- stroke) and chronic (ie- Alzheimer's disease) central nervous system disorders, and on the effects of chronic inflammation on fetal (ie- gestational diabetes) and infant (ie- poor diet) neurocognitive development. The overall goals of her research program are to 1) understand how microglial functions affect neurodegeneration, neurogenesis and neuronal functions, 2) establish approaches to modulate microglial responses, and 3) develop new therapeutic strategies with multiple disease relevance. Dr. Kauppinen received a prestigious Jordi Folch Pi award 2008 from American Society for Neurochemistry. Her research has been funded by grants from American Heart and Stroke and Alzheimer Society of Canada.
